@lynxstch Glad Don's appt went well. But, that took alot of time. I wish doctors would be more on schedule.

Carol Glad you had a nice cruise.

It is a bit warmer today, near 50. My walks were very nice. I have been doing a bit more packing up and actually have some empty drawers in my dressers. I am packing up summer stuff to bring to Kenny's. I am still debating having the moving company pack up the kitchen and laundry room and a couple of closets or just do it myself slowly over time. The kids say let the movers do it but I think I have the time to do it. Decisions! Not good at them.

Have a good evening.

Lynn. I'm just so thankful you and Don are safely home. What a doctor ordeal though! prices of the prescription. I'm so sorry they are so expensive. Sometimes doctors along with the rest of us indeed need to slow down. With a healthcare provider especially, you care and time needs to be truly valued! Just forever know, all of us sure appreciate dear you! Have a much more relaxing rest of the day.

Snowysom, I agree with your kids to let the movers do the work! I do understand your preferring to do some packing yourself. Please just take care and absolutely have anything heavy done for you!

 

[PollyannaMom]

I hope your Zoom class goes well, too.

It did! This was a new class/teacher for me, and is on poetry. I really enjoyed it!

It is 5 degrees out right now, wind chill advisories out for tonight. We got about 6 inches of snow on Saturday. Yesterday I took the tractor with snowblower out for the first time. Kris always did the blowing. It’s not pretty but it’s done. I’m certain anyone watching me would have had quite a chuckle. I did go out for a few minutes to pay the property taxes today.

Grief is so hard, the tears come without warning and often. I am so lonely. I dread everyday. My son had Covid last week so he didn’t come over. Luckily I have not had any symptoms but I stayed home all week long just in case.
Prayers to all who are struggling

Proud of you, PollyannaMom. How awesome to try something new. I hope you continue to enjoy the class.

Dazed. Sending you extra love and prayers, as well.

I just spoke with a friend of mine who lives in an Assisted Living Facility. She shared some sad news about another resident who lived there. Reminder to each of you that each of you sure matter and are appreciated by me! I sincerely do thank God always for making and keeping us a Quacker Family.

No mail or packages here yet. All is quiet. Dad, I'm grateful, is resting. It's 3:09pm here yet feels a whole lot later. Have a good rest of the afternoon AuntieMe3 and Luckyrabbit. Everyone else, prayers your evening is going well.

@dazedx3 Thinking of you.

from Walmart came, extraordinary same day service! No mail here yet.

Summer did not make out well at the MRI today. She has anterolisthesis at a level 3 with 4 being the worst. And it says she has ovarian cysts which she didn't know it would show. Also degenerative enlargement of the facet joints and disc degenerative desiccation and bulging.

They have her on more meds for a rheumatoid arthritis flare-up. Now she has to see a foot doctor. She had to buy shoes 2 sizes bigger because the bones are more deformed than just a couple of months ago.

She called the spinal institute place today to let them know she completed the MRI, they told her the surgeon would look over it and if he feels there is something that he can do then a nurse will call her

How on earth could all of this be happening at the same time?

I mailed a package to Colorado on Friday. It got there today. I mailed a check to City Hall last Wednesday and it hasn't arrived yet. Good work USPS

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Lynn and hugeall-around for Summer. From across the country, I feel just terrible for her and, of course, for you and Don who love her. So sad. Thinking extra of dear you. Mail sometimes just doesn't make sense. Grateful truly when anything comes!

Wishing all of you a cozy good night's sleep. Sweet Dreams.

 

[dazedx3]

Lynn….so sorry to hear about Summer. Do they think all these things are related somehow, some under lying cause?

 

[Kirby]

Dazed.

Lynn, prayers for Summer.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Hugs, dazed. And prayers for Summer and everyone else who needs them.

 

[Snowysmom]

Sending prayers for Summer. Could all this be part of a syndrome of some type? It just seems strange all this is happening at the same time.

Thoughts and prayers for all who are in need.

It is in the thirties today. I have to go into the office today instead of Thursday. I go in tomorrow too for a 2 our company meeting that I do not have time for. I have been really stressed about Kenny and being able to keep the house. It isn't looking good as ex is challenging the appraisal wanting more money. It is keeping me up at night. I so want the grandkids to have that house to go to as they love being there. It is the only house they have known and need familiarity in their lives. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Have a good day.

Good Tuesday morning.

Snowed over night but I went ahead and came into work. Most schools were on a 2 hr. delay. I didn't want my boss to say "hey, since you worked from home Tuesday, can you come in on Friday", I'm watching Mia Friday afternoon since I work from home so that's the main reason I came in. Roads weren't too bad until you got to the area where all the hospitals are located, took me forever to get up the hill.

Haircut went well. I decided to just get a trim. I stopped at TJ Maxx afterwards and just wanted to check to see if they still had the plates that I bought from another location. They didn't but I found quite a few other things I liked . A couple of new blouses for work, 2 sleepers for Mia, a fancy olive oil jar w/spout, an avocado peeler/slicer and an organizational container that I wanted for my kitchen drawer. The guy forgot to ring that up and I wasn't going to wait for him to do it and then have to pay again so I told him to forget it. I might stop back over the weekend, I really need to measure the height of the drawer to make sure they weren't too tall.

Easyas - Congratulations on your son's engagement!

Have a great day!

Lynn….so sorry to hear about Summer. Do they think all these things are related somehow, some under lying cause?

They have no clue if these are all related, as she's not getting much information from anyone . They keep doing all these tests, but not a reason why. She said last night that she's literally falling apart from head to toe, but that she's not giving up, at least not yet. All she wants is some relief from all of it.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Drastic weather change. 60 yesterday, mid 30's today. A few snow flurries are flying around.

@easyas123 Congratulations on your son's engagement. Weddings are always exciting!

@Snowysmom No one seems to know if Summer's issues are all related to each other, or just a whole bunch of different ones. One Dr. told her they could all be complications after Covid, but I can't see that many of them happening all at once. Thank all of you for the prayers for her, she needs every last one of them.

Planning on going with my sister-in-law and niece to the 2 discount groceries in PA. She wants to go all the way to Altoona to do shopping, but I don't want to be gone that long. Don wasn't feeling well last night, and I want to be fairly close by, just in case. I think he worked his anxiety up from the appt yesterday and all the mix-up with the meds. I finally got it all straightened out with CVS and the insurance company at any rate.

Off to make a grocery list for tomorrow. Have a nice morning

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Waving Good Morning and Happy last day of January from LA. No snow, of course, sure feels that chilly at only 48 degrees right now. I'm extra grateful we have just enough milk (Dad will buy more after laundry at Ralph's later this morning) to make hot chocolate. Nice morning surprise.

Continuing to all in need of extra comfort, prayers, and cheer.

Snowysmom, extra prayers for Kenny and his kids. Kids, especially, younger children truly need stability. I sincerely hope and pray they are able to remain in their I also hope your work day goes well and that it warms up even a little bit for you, too.

Footballmouse, safe travels. I really would love to get my own haircut. Glad you could get yours done. Baby Mia. She is so blessed to have you in her life!

Lynn, along with prayers that at last you got some sleep last night! Of course, my continuing support and prayers for Summer. I am so grateful to read, thank God, that her spirit is a bit better. Prayers knowing that brings some extra peace to you and Don. for Don to feel better.

We never did get yesterday. We'll see what may come later. We are expecting a package from Amazon.

Please take extra care today friends to stay warm and be well. I'll check back in later.
